Conjoint Committee
Meetings

The Conjoint Committee meets twice a year, in May and November.
Applications close 2 weeks prior to the meeting dates, with
incomplete applications and applications received after that date
to be considered at the subsequent meeting. Applications must be
lodged on the official form and must be legible. The applicant will
be notified of the results of the assessment in writing.

Next meeting

The Conjoint Committee will be meeting
on Tuesday 16 October
2018 to consider applications for recognition of
training. Applications to be considered at this meeting must be
received no later than 5pm AEST on Monday 1 October
2018. Incomplete applications or applications received
after this date will be held over until the following meeting of
the Conjoint Committee, which will be held in May 2019.

Training in Peripheral Endovascular Therapy is assessed by the
Conjoint Committee, usually in the context of the Specialist
Advanced Training Program of the RACS, RACP or RANZCR. Full
recognition is therefore dependent on appropriate training,
experience and supervision pursuant to those Training Programs.

Recognition of satisfactory training in Peripheral Endovascular
Therapy will therefore be given at the successful completion of
Specialist Advanced Training.

Guiding principles

Appropriate facilities for training in peripheral endovascular
therapy should be available in major hospitals.

Exposure to peripheral endovascular therapeutic procedures
should be available to trainees from surgery, medicine or
radiology.

Training implies an expression of vocational ambition in
peripheral endovascular therapy in an advanced training
program.

The Committee recommends that peripheral endovascular
radiological procedures in children 14 years of age and under
should only be performed by those who have satisfied the training
requirements for paediatric peripheral endovascular therapy.

Cognitive and interpretive skills combined with a clear
understanding of the role of peripheral endovascular therapy in
patient management are as important as technical skills. This
includes attendance at appropriate teaching sessions and relevant
procedures.

Appropriate training and accreditation in fluoroscopic theory,
practice and radiation safety must be obtained and a current
license from the local licensing body held.

The candidate must independently complete the specified minimum
number of procedures under supervision before the supervisor may
consider assessing competence. A satisfactory report from the
supervisor will be required at the completion of the training
program.

Recognition of satisfactory peripheral endovascular therapy
training will normally be given at the completion of the advanced
training program of the relevant college.

The committee encourages successful applicants to maintain
continuing medical education in the field of peripheral
endovascular therapeutic practice and to regularly audit their own
practice of peripheral endovascular therapy.
